Classics Brugge-De Panne (26/3 and 27/3)

Looks so from this photo but I guess the photo finish camera shows that Bauhaus was some milimeters ahead.

But that leads to a question: who the F came up with the Points Scale for these kind of races:
1st = 300
2nd = 250
3rd = 215
4th = 175
5th = 120
6th = 115
7th = 95
8th = 75
9th = 60
10th = 50

It makes zero sense to only have 5 points difference from 5th to 6th when looking at the gaps between the other placements.
Knowing the UCI, someone made a typo and they never bothered to do anything about it.

Lol, that's ridiculous :tearsofjoy:
 
Yeah a headtap is fine usually when the other rider has vision of you and its just a bit of letting them know you're there.

That however seemed like a full Phil-Mitchell style headbutt, proper leaned back and got his neck into it.
 
It seems to me to be a purely defensive move by Milan. It was the Uno-X rider who made it a dangerous situation, but it's hard to tell what happened before the clip started.
If Milan is the only thing that race officials find worthy of review or yellow card,getting DQd or fined they are drunk!!
Race likely ran out of EMT and ambulance capacity in final kilometers. Camera crews couldn't keep up with body count..
